Tamia

Sudanese chickpea patties

• 1 LB chickpeas

• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 2 onions, chopped

• 2 TBS flour

• 1 white bread roll

• 1 tsp. baking powder

• 1 tsp. black pepper

• 1 tsp. salt

• Vegetable oil (for frying)

• 1 tsp. coriander seeds

• 1 tsp. sesame seeds

• Bunch of fresh coriander

• 1 green bell pepper, seeded & chopped

Soak chickpeas in water for at least three hours. Drain and place in a cooking pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until the chickpeas are tender, about two hours. Drain and allow to cool. In a bowl, mash together cooked chickpeas with garlic, onion, bell pepper and coriander. Soak the bread in water until soft. Drain and chop bread, and then add to chickpea mixture with flour. Add the spices, season with salt and black pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside for about fifteen minutes. Mix in baking powder. Using hands, shape mixture into a round disk shape. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top; gently pat into the surface. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok. Fry shaped dough until golden brown in color.

 

Suggestion: Serve with Fuul (Sudanese broad bean paste).
